Here in the US we are used to the Multiple Listing Service or MLS whereby every realtor has access to virtually every property which is for sale anywhere in the country, and "listing realtors" and "sellin g realtors" work together to get homes sold and then split commissions.

My understanding is that it simply does not work that way in Italy. Each realtor has an exclusive contract to sell "his" properties, there is nothing resembling the MLS, and realtors do not work together (at least not officially). There may be 30 properties for sale in a comune, but your realtor will only show five of them to you because the others are under contract with another realtor.

Hopefully one of our Italian friends will confirm or deny the above.
